Syracuse, NY -- A minor fire this morning in a downtown building undergoing renovation snarled traffic at the intersection of South Salina and West Fayette streets this morning, a Syracuse fire official said.

Firefighters were called at 10:08 a.m. to the Wilson Building, 306 S. Salina St., Lt. Ken Heffernan, city fire investigator, said. Some construction debris caught fire as a construction worker was using a cutting torch, Heffernan said.

Firefighters quickly put out the fire, which caused minor structural damage to the building, Heffernan said.

Traffic was restricted around the building for about an hour while firefighters were on the scene.
